The players are now on a 20-minute break.
The Alexey Rybin express keeps right on rolling, as we just saw him take another huge pot off of start-of-day-2 chip leader Matt O'Donnell to add further to his chip-leading stack as Level 12 nears its close.
We arrived on the turn to see a board and O'Donnell firing 42,000 into the middle. Rybin called the bet, and Nacho Barbero folded from the button.
The pot was already big when the river brought the and O'Donnell pushed out another bet of around 100,000. Rybin sat quietly for just a moment, then said he was reraising the pot and O'Donnell quickly folded, preserving just 40,000 or so behind.
Rybin tabled his cards — for the nut straight — and collected the big pot. O'Donnell managed to double up once right before the break, but he's still sitting with less than a third of his starting stack.
